Plain language law

New Zealand law explained for everyone

This page is about a bill. That means that it's not the law yet, but some people want it to be the law. It could change quickly, and some of the information is just a draft.

Fast-track Approvals Bill

Fast-track approval approvals process for eligible projects - Process for panel consideration of substantive application - Hearing of panel

24P: Hearing not required

You could also call this:

“The panel can decide without a meeting or listening to people talk”

You don’t need to worry about having a hearing for your application. The panel doesn’t have to hold one, and nobody has the right to speak to the panel about it. This means everything can be done without needing to meet in person or talk about it out loud.
